5.11 Tactical Men's Boots, ATAC 2.0 Side-Zip, 8-Inch, Black, Style 12391ABR

My third pair (now have all colors) I have worn these for miles and miles. I wear a size 8 in women’s and 6.5 in men’s. The support in the footbed is the best. I have foot problems with the ball of my foot and these are the only boots I can wear on a regular basis. I wear them all day with no pain! Well made and I LOVE LOVE THEM!

The E.M.T./Paramedicine practitioners ( We have two.) in our household love these. They are light, and easy to get into at 3 a.m. They get about a year out of a pair in stations that see ~12 to 20 calls in a 24 hour shift. Notably these have survived hikes to persons experiencing emergencies in a nearby wildlife refuge. Including those that just have to pet the fluffy buffalo, a.k.a. American Bison and go hiking at 100°F following bypass surgery etc. 511 makes some quality gear and these fall under that heading. With good coolmax cushion or wool socks and the proper foot powder they can be worn from freezing to dessert service. We do have a boot dryer and make sure they get dried out properly from sweat or rain. Typically they have lasted until the soles wear thin and begin to come loose from the upper. Anything heavier duty would be well, heavier. In a less active station or volunteer service I'm sure you'd get two or three years out of them easily.

Due to a hockey injury and surgery I cannot feel my right leg anymore. This causes me to walk a little goofy which wears out boots quickly. These have lasted the longest and I just bought my second pair after many years with the first. Solid product that lasts through my abuse.

Durable, professional look and fit to size. Comfortable and quality of 511 professional products.

Absolutely love these boots. Price is on point for the quality and life expectancy. I usually get 1-2 years out of a pair. I always get a 9.5 wide but this time, I think I got 9.5 standard width. They are tighter than normal and there is no W or EW stamp on the tongue. My last pair were the tan suede type and they ripped at the arch in the middle of the material. These have zero break in for me. Slightly stiff due to being new but never any slipping or blisters. Once I have them adjusted to my feet, I double tie them and never have to worry about them loosening up. They are extremely light weight which is good when climbing stairs or having to run in them. Great traction and amazing comfort with affordable pricing and awesome durability.

Excellent quality and price. My husband loves these boots for work.

I absolutely love these boots! They were a little tight out of the box but after wearing them for a few days they fit very well. I have wider feet and was a little nervous that the break in period would be long but that wasn’t the case. Also the insoles feel so good on my feet. These boots compare to a more expensive boot like Danners where you would spend an easy $100-200 more.

I have been wearing these style boots for over 30 years at work. I have tried almost every brand over the years. I was a huge fan of Danner until they made the boot I would purchase each year for over $400! I switched to 5.11 and could not be happier! Way more comfortable than the Danner boots at about 1/3 of the cost. I am now on my second pair and will keep buying them. I even used these boots for hiking, motorcycle riding, mowing grass, working in the yard, and of course, work.
